Things To Do In San Diego: March 17, 2009 (St. Patrick's Day)

Thank goodness for all the tour blogs because I've been m.i.a. with family all weekend. I finally got to meet my three month old nephew and saw my 100 year old grandma for the first time in over seven years. Been pretty crazy. After a couple days of family, I'm beat, so I'll get to the full week listings Tuesday afternoon, hopefully while enjoying the fresh keg of Guinness at the Ken Club. In the meantime, here's what's going on for St. Paddy's Day in San Diego.
